How much have camera doorbells killed the Jehovah’s Witness game?

Just had 2 Jehovah’s Witness folks come by in their suits and I watched them for about 2 mins, then they left. They were smiling and looking at the doorbell, knowing it was a camera.
Seems like they need to come up with a new plan, as these doorbell cameras have to be killing their surprise door game.

Seven Day Adventist are using it as leverage to exploit them.

No one enjoys that convo, but I do respect the conviction it takes to believe in something so profoundly that you'll go out and tell strangers about it door to door on a Saturday morning.

Sure but the doorbell detects motion and you can still see them even if only knocking. It’s great

No doubt, slack. I am not judging them at all and it’s certainly admirable

The group of JW's that grew up around me all had legit hot daughters and wives. Camera would have made me more inclined to answer the door even knowing it was them.

Wasn't suggesting you were, just throwing out a comment about it. I sure as hell wouldn't do it.
ETA - I know a guy who was raised as a Jehovah's Witness. He went to work selling supplemental insurance door to door in the Midwest and he absolutely killed it. Now he makes about $10k a month on residuals and has become a financial advisor in NC. He's one of the smoothest salesmen I've ever heard.

I got caught in the front yard a few Saturdays ago. They were older ladies, so I was being polite and gave them a few minutes to go through their pitch. I told them that I admired their dedication to door knocking, knowing that most people, like myself, aren't interested is religious conversion. They were unfazed.
I finally told them my break time was over and I had to get back to my yardwork. I thought I'd made a clean escape without hurting anyone feelings. Then one of them said, "When we come back, we have a short video we'd like to share with you." I said, "Thanks, but that won't be necessary. Goodbye." and went back to raking.
Meanwhile, I've spent every Wednesday and Saturday since then with the drapes closed and praying for rain. But like Arnold in the Terminator, I know they'll be back.

They should be in charge of the census.

I don't answer my door for anyone that doesn't call first.

Admirable?
It's the same people every month.

Honestly I'm going to start going to Kingdom Halls and put flyers on every car.
Oh what you don't like solicitations?? Tough.

I miss the Mormons coming by. They won’t let them in my apartment. Such nice people.
Jehovah’s Witness can go frick themselves though.

Nah. They'll knock anyway.
It's totally fricked over shitbag package thieves though. They are getting nailed on the reg these days it seems.

JWs dont actually want to talk to you. The leave their tracts and go on their way. Only 144,000 will be saved, so any new converts are competition.

I don't care how far out in the sticks you live, the Witnesses will find you.
